For the first time ever, The Australian Ballet will perform the internationally acclaimed production, Chroma. Choreographed by Wayne McGregor in 2006, Chroma combines the music of Mozart, Tchaikovsky and The White Stripes. Chroma earned McGregor a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Dance Production, as well as the Critics Circle Award back in 2007.
If classical ballet is more suited to your tastes, then the Imperial Suite (a two bill session of Ballet Imperial by George Balachine and Suite En Blanc by Serge Lifar), Manon or Russian classic The Nutcracker will be for you.
Inspired by the tragic tale of love in Abbe Prevost’s classical novel, Manon is The Australian Ballet’s adaption of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s masterpiece. Manon illustrates the story of a naïve woman corrupted by greed, passion and obsession; who journeys from Paris to Louisiana as a fugitive, but taints what love she possessed by her selfish actions.
